Negative impacts of climate warming are already being experienced globally. As set out by the IPCC’s Special Report on Global Warming, limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is necessary to prevent irreversible devastating changes. To achieve this goal will require reaching net zero CO2 emissions in most if not all countries by 2050.Several days ago, the … [Read more...] about Taking Care of Our Earth – A Global Agenda for Net Zero CO2 Emissions by 2050, UN Appeals

Top 10 Countries With The Highest Fossil CO2 Emissions
Carbon dioxide emissions from human activities are driving global warming. They are also a major contributor to air pollution. Moreover, CO2 levels may indicate high levels of other harmful air pollutants. Furthermore, CO2 emissions may impact human health by displacing oxygen in the atmosphere.To reduce CO2 emissions is a key measure to control climate warming and mitigate … [Read more...] about Top 10 Countries With The Highest Fossil CO2 Emissions
